For a long while the mainstays for metal on the radio have been Megadeth and Metallica with some Slayer thrown in every now and then. But now radio has been picking up Fear Factory, Killswitch Engage, Atreyu and Shadows Fall. With this new surge of interest in metal do you think it will cause a backlash in the scene due to record companies trying to push out product even if it's shit or cause longtime fans of the underground to turn their back because their favorite secret (REPLACE band here) has been given radio rotation?
Also, do you think Slipknot's release of Iowa helped spark an interest in harder bands to an unknowing audience? (I heard fans of their first album talk about how bad the second release was because it was too hard).
And finally, will we ever see (hopefully soon) a Chimaira, Fear Factory and Strapping Young Lad show? That show would be complete sickness.
Severo.
